"Immediately"
"Immediately" generally means without delay or instantly, indicating that something should happen right away or as soon as possible. It implies a sense of urgency and promptness, suggesting that action needs to be taken urgently or quickly. For example, if someone says "I need this report immediately", it means that they need it right away, without any delay or waiting. Similarly, if a doctor tells a patient to go to the hospital immediately, it means that the patient needs urgent medical attention and should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
"Immediately" comes from the Latin word "immediatus", which means "without anything between".
The word was originally used in the context of space and location, indicating that two things were in direct contact or had nothing between them.
Over time, the term began to be used more broadly to refer to actions or events that occur without any delay or interruption.
The word "immediatus" is formed from the prefix "im-" which means "not" or "un-", and the word "medius" which means "middle". Thus, "immediatus" literally means "not in the middle" or "direct".
The word "immediately" in its current form has been in use in English since the late 16th century.

individual
"individual" means a single person or thing, or something that is unique or distinct. It can also refer to a particular person or member of a group, as opposed to the group as a whole.
語源
The word "individual" comes from the Latin word "individuus", which derives from "indivisus" meaning "indivisible". "Individuus" meant "unable to be divided" and was formed from the prefix "in-" (meaning "not") and "dividuus" (meaning "divided"). From this origin, "individual" came to mean an undivided, distinct entity, such as a single person or thing.
"individual"の語源は、ラテン語の"individuus"から来ており、"indivisus"(分割できない)に由来しています。"individuus"は、「分割することができない」という意味を持ち、"in-"(否定を表す接頭辞)と"dividuus"(分割された)から構成されています。この語源から、"individual"は、分割できない、一つのまとまりのあるもの、つまり個々の人や物を表すようになりました。
